Hawai’i Island police identified the human remains discovered on an Ocean View Estate subdivision property earlier this month as those of 39-year-old Anthony Theodore Wagoner whose last known address was in Duluth, Minnesota.

Following an autopsy, the forensic pathologist ruled that Wagoner’s death was caused by a single gunshot wound.

The case has now been reclassified as a murder investigation.
